Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder Cases

Summary

The two plaintiffs in the current case, a woman suffering from ovarian cancer and a man whose wife died from the disease, accuse J&J of knowing for years about possible asbestos contamination in their talc-products and potential links between talc itself and cancer but failing to warn consumers to protect sales of a highly popular brand. However J&J, which has secured multiple defense verdicts in talc mesothelioma and ovarian cases, insists these lawsuits are based on fundamentally flawed scientific conclusions.
